The study compares two existing microbiological inhibition tests, Screening Test for Antibiotic Residues (STAR) and Premi®Test with recently introduced Nouws (NAT) Total Antibiotics the screening of antimicrobial residues in tissues food-producing animals. In negative or positive sample classification based on growth test strain sensitive to many antibiotics sulphonamides, out 142 samples obtained from slaughterhouses retail operations, 39 yielded a result one more tests: 4 four 14 three 13 8 test. As numbers observed samples, descending sequence tests was: STAR, Antibiotics, Premi®Test, NAT. was seven strains, namely Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778, Kocuria rhizophila 9341, stearothermophilus var. calidolactis. Considering strains sensitivity no pumilus NCIMB 10822 NAT plates, our preliminary conclusion is that animal are suspected presence tetracycline, macrolide, β-lactam antibiotics.
